He focused his gaze on the 【Stone Appraising】 entry.
An explanation immediately appeared behind it.
【You have achieved Minor Accomplishment in the way of Stone Appraising. Even if isolated from Spirit Stones, you can still identify some valuable Raw Stones among the vast sea of them.】
"This is..."
"Stone gambling?"
Seeing this, Zhang Yan was stunned. He had not expected that even after coming to the world of cultivation, there would still be something like stone gambling.
"However, this Stone Splitting Experience is truly useful."
Although he, This Person Zhang, was at odds with gambling and drugs, he had to admit that this ability to appraise stones was still very useful to him.
Not to mention anything else.
With this ability, he could at least ensure that while working at Thousand Treasures Peak, he would have a higher probability of finding Raw Stones containing Magic Tools.
This would not only allow him to earn more Contribution Points.
But he would also be able to see more Magic Tools.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to select a Stone Cracking Chisel.
The entries for the Stone Cracking Chisel and the Stone Cracking Hammer were similar, except the stone splitting entry had become a piercing entry.
Finally, after searching through the entire warehouse, he found a suitable Stone Cracking Chisel.
【Equipment Name】: Stone Cracking Chisel
【Equipment Quality】: Gray
【Equipment Effect】: Piercing, Stone Appraising （Minor Accomplishment）, Stone Splitting Experience +30%
After confirming, he equipped it directly into his equipment slot, then took a pair of Magic Tools and headed out toward the pile of Raw Stones.
Each of those Raw Stones was very large.
Some even looked exactly like Magic Tools.
For example, from a distance, Zhang Yan saw a Raw Stone that looked like a Flying Sword.
However, one could tell from the cuts on the Raw Stone that it seemed to have been opened by someone before. It was just that they hadn't found anything of value and had eventually given up.
The magical thing was that as soon as Zhang Yan saw those Raw Stones, all sorts of experience flooded into his mind.
It let him know which Raw Stone might contain something, and what that something might be.
This feeling was very magical, as if he were a born sage, with knowledge appearing out of thin air in his mind. Moreover, even the principles were very clear.
"According to my intuition, this Raw Stone is likely to yield something." Following the knowledge in his mind and his own intuition, Zhang Yan quickly selected a stone only the size of a human head.
This stone was wrapped in a layer of emerald green moss and looked no different from an ordinary stone.
But if you tried to scan it with your Spiritual Sense, you would find that this thing was like a sheltered maiden; you simply couldn't get inside.
This might be because his cultivation level was relatively low; if his cultivation level were higher, this Stone Membrane wouldn't be able to stop him.
He picked up the Stone Cracking Hammer and Stone Cracking Chisel with both hands and chiseled away at the Raw Stone. This layer of stone skin was very special, hard, and resistant to Spiritual Sense.
But as soon as it was chiseled off the Raw Stone, its peculiar properties vanished without a trace.
Because Zhang Yan had the entries on the Stone Cracking Hammer and Stone Cracking Chisel, the stone splitting was very easy, even giving him the feeling of a master butcher carving an ox; every strike was just right.
Soon.
Zhang Yan had finished splitting this Raw Stone.
"There is something.
Unfortunately, it didn't withstand the erosion of time."
After opening the Raw Stone, there was a Jade Pendant-like Magic Tool inside.
However, it was a pity that with the passage of time, the Spiritual Energy on the Jade Pendant had been completely worn away.
He blew on it gently.
The Jade Pendant immediately turned into a gust of sand and drifted away with the wind.
Although it was a pity that it didn't yield a treasure.
But this was the normal state; if any random Raw Stone could yield a treasure.
Then these Raw Stones wouldn't have been thrown here for him to split.
Thus, an afternoon passed by very quickly.
During this time, he had split a total of three Raw Stones.
Two of them had nothing, and he had also extracted a piece of ore.
He had no use for this thing, so naturally, he wouldn't spend Contribution Points to buy it; he could wait until the end to see what price the Steward would offer to buy it back.
He checked the time.
After estimating, he figured he could split one more Raw Stone.
Zhang Yan turned to start looking for a Raw Stone.
After the first three Raw Stones, he understood Stone Appraising and stone splitting even better.
Soon.
He found a Raw Stone that looked about a foot square.
"I feel like there is something in this one."
Thinking of this, he immediately began to split it.
As the Stone Cracking Hammer and Stone Cracking Chisel continuously hammered away at it.
He soon knocked off the Stone Membrane on the Raw Stone, revealing the item inside.
The moment the Stone Membrane fell off.
Spiritual Light flashed immediately.
"This is..."
【Equipment Name】: Swift Boots
【Equipment Quality】: Blue
【Equipment Effect】: Swiftness Technique （Great Accomplishment）, Extreme Speed, Movement Technique
"Good treasure!"
Seeing the information on the entry.
Zhang Yan immediately laughed.
This day had not been in vain!
He had finally managed to extract a good item!
The only pity was, why was there only one boot!
Holding the boot, Zhang Yan slowly stood up and left, leaving the Stone Cracking Chisel and Stone Cracking Hammer in the warehouse, and headed toward the exit.
At the exit of this valley of discarded Magic Tools, there was a Managing Disciple, and beside him, there were already quite a few people waiting with items to exchange for Contribution Points.
Zhang Yan stood in line, and soon it was his turn.
"Hmm?
First time here?
Not a bad harvest!"
The Managing Disciple looked at the items in Zhang Yan's hands.
"This is Meteorite Iron; I'll count it as one Magic Tool and give you 100 Contribution Points. Any objections?"
"None."
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"This boot..."
The Managing Disciple looked at the Swift Boots in Zhang Yan's hand with a look of disgust.
He hated these kinds of second-hand shoes the most!
Because it was very difficult to make a pair!
Yet, Magic Tools that were boots had to be in pairs to have value.
"I can only give you thirty Contribution Points for this," the Managing Disciple said to Zhang Yan.
"Thirty Contribution Points...
What if this disciple were to trade away this Magic Tool?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and asked the Steward.
"You want to trade it away?"
"I'll count it as 120 Contribution Points for you."
The Steward pondered for a moment before speaking to Zhang Yan.
These Swift Boots were originally a High-grade Magic Artifact, but too much time had passed, and the Spiritual Energy had already been lost.
Coupled with the fact that there was only one boot, its value could be said to have been greatly discounted, and besides...
Normally, very few people would buy someone else's second-hand shoes.
So the Steward's asking price was relatively low.
"120 Contribution Points."
However, to Zhang Yan, this wasn't a big problem.
"Fine, I'll trade it!
But I don't have enough Contribution Points on me; would it be alright to pay the rest with Spirit Stones?"
"That's fine."
The Steward didn't make things difficult for Zhang Yan and let him trade for the Swift Boots directly.
Holding a broken shoe, Zhang Yan left Thousand Treasures Peak happily.
Although he had worked for a day and even lost twenty Contribution Points in the process.
But in his heart, he was very happy.
He hurried back to his residence.
He couldn't wait to take out today's harvest.
Today could be said to be a full harvest!!!
